Time 20m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 eggs
12 medium white potatoes, with skin
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
  • Add whole potatoes to the water and boil until a knife is easily inserted, but they are not too soft.
  • Drain and cool.
  • Peel and chop the eggs and place them in a large serving bowl.
  • Stir in the green onions.
  • When the potatoes have cooled, peel and chop then add them to the bowl.
  • Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir in the mayonnaise.
  • Sprinkle parley over the top.
  • Chill until serving.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes until just tender: Overboiled potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Overmixing can break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
  • Taste the salad and adjust seasonings as needed: The amount of mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar you need will depend on your personal preference.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill: This will add a pop of color and freshness to the salad.

Conclusion:

South African potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its creamy, tangy dressing and flavorful potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
